ROME (Reuters) - Newcastle went clear at the top of UEFA Cup Group H when Albert Luque scored the winner in a 1-0 win over Palermo on Thursday.
The win gave the Premier League side six points from two games.
The Sicilians looked more likely to score in a lively opening at the Stadio Barbera, with Newcastle's defence backpedalling to clear shots by Franco Brienza and Andrea Caracciolo off their line.
In the 37th minute, however, James Milner broke down the left and whipped in a cross for Luque to head past home keeper Alberto Fontana.
Newcastle's teenage goalkeeper Tim Krul, making his debut, made a series of fine saves to keep Palermo out.
